The Hawk Conservancy Trust

Andover - The Hawk Conservancy Trust has, for many years, prided itself on three things - its conservation work, its educational work and its flying demonstrations. We have a scheme for sponsorship of individual birds, and a membership scheme (currently over 1800 members).
Displays start with the Vulture Restaurant at 11.30. The Noon and 3.30 flying displays are held in the Lower Flying Grounds while the 2.00 Valley of the Eagles display takes place in Reg's Meadow (subject to change due to weather conditions). At the end of the day, there's a wild Red Kite and Heron feed at the hides. Additional activities include duck races and Raptor Safari tractor & trailer rides. Please check our information board near the entrance for details of all our daily events.
